Topical Products

Kashrus

Question

hi if there is "Organic Tallow from Grass-Fed Cows" listed as an ingredient for a deodorant. I think i read somewhere ingredients don't have to be kosher if its being topically applied but since topical products still have some systemic absorption - is the product okay to use or not?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

For all practical purposes, there are no restriction on ingredients used in creams and deodorants, and the like. You may use any.
